Dairy Cows Die with Pneumonia.

ST. Louis, Mo-, July s.-The health de-
partment made startling discovery yes
terday in Henry Weascl's South st. Louis
dairy. He keeps fifty cows and supplies q
large section Of the city with milk. Fifteen
cows died during the last week Of pleuro-
pneumonia, and the others are down with
the fever. The milk, however, was dis
tributed until to-day. The inspector de-
stroyed fifty gallons Of infected milk which
he found on the premises. An investiga-
tion showed that herd of Texas cattle
had been driven through pasture where
Weasel's cows had been feeding, and the
disease is supposed to have been commune
Gated in this manner. One other dairy in
the same vicinity is infected.

TUE FEELING At ST. LOUIS.
ST LOUIS, July s. "A great deal of feel
ing is manifested here on account Of the
action of members of the g. A. r. which
has resulted in the Presidents declination
OF the invitation to visit this city this fall.
The general comment on the Presidents
letter Is favorable, the Grand Army COM
ing in for q good deal Of condemnation. A
special Grand Army committee goes to
Madison, Wis, to-day to consult with Cen
eral Fairchild.
Tho Citizens Committee met yesterday
afternoon in the office Of Mayor Francis
and appointed committee to draw up res
olutions to be submitted to mass
meeting of citizens which will be
called to assemble at the Mer-
chants Exchange this afternoon. These
resolutions will embody an in
vitation to tho President to visit this city
during fair week early in October, or at
some other time that may suit his con-
venience, and will promise him an enthu.
siastic reception. A citizens committee
will then be appointed to again visit the
President and try to induce him to come.
WILL NOT COME WEST AT ALL.
WASHINGTON, July SIT is practically
settled that the President will not visit
the West at all during the present year.
The abandonment of his proposed
visit to st. Louis has resulted in
wholly changing whatever plans he
had made for visiting Western cities. 1t
was said at the White House yesterday
afternoon that the only plans the Presi-
dent has made for leaving Washington
during the summer and autumn are those
for his visit to Clinton, N. Y, on the 18th
inst, which will probably not consume al
together more than weeks time. and for
his visit to Atlanta in November on the oc'
casion of the Georgia State fair. .l-,f

Only a Mormon podae.

editorially says: 'The Mormon article
pretending to abolish polygamy is fraud
and sham. 1t omits unlawful cohabita-
tion, the most prevalent and offensive
feature being continuous living in polyg-
amy, and all that Mormon would need
to do in order to live his religion would
be to quietly marry polygamously and
keep the knowledge Of the fact
from obtrusively offending Mormon
Prosecuting Attorney for three years, and
from thereafter he could live IN the most
shameless and indecent polygamy, with
neither law nor constitution to say him
nay. He would also be backed by the
church and dominant sentiment, and the
constitution would be laughed to scorn, as.
the church programme contemplates."

Strange Operation for the Dread Malay
by Chicago Surgeons.
CHICAGO, July 8.--John Kelliher ran Q
rusty nail into his foot about an inch back
from his big toe May 90. Yesterday
morning he complained Of sore throat.
When the physician whom he had called
upon TO consult asked him to open his
mouth, IL was discovered that his jaws re-
fused to perform their functions. Another
doctor was called in and at once pro-
nounced the malady typical form OF
traumatic lockjaw. The man was removed
to his home. An hour later the tctanio
grin set in and II became apparent that ex--
treme measures had to be resortcd to. A
consultation resulted in the operation be-
low described: Mr.. Kelliher was put un--

sciatic nerve, which lies to the rear OF the
ball and socket joint, was then exposed.
Here strong metallic sound was passed
beneath the nerve, and it was stretched
downward from the spinal cord with a
pressure of 175 pounds. The cash was
then dressed with iodoform and antiseptics
and Sc wed up. An incision three inches
long was next made in the groin, the knife
cutting downward past the femoral artery
until the crural nerve was exposed. Here
the sound was again used, and the nerve
drawn downward from the spinal cord
with pressure of fifty pounds. This IDEA
of treatment for lock-jaw is a new one
and was first successfully attempted in
the European medical colleges about six
months ago, and the case of Kelliher is.
probably the first effort in the West. It
was the left foot which was injured. The.

from the scar in the left foot produced by
the nail to the base Of the brain, also to

BERNE, July S.-The disaster at Zug com.
menced at $3.50 Tuesday afternoon, when
eighty feet of the new quay, which cost

sons who rushed from an adjoining
cafe were precipltated into the water

another slip dragged several houses into

to the surface. At the same moment
a boatman's hut in which were three
children fell into the river. At seven

SEVENTEEN LIVES LOST
In a Terrible Confagration at
Hurley, Wis.
One Hundred and Fifty Buildings Destroy
ed.-Fourth Great Fire In the Brief His
tory OF the Place.

HuRLEY, WIS, July 10.-Firc broke out
on the stage of the Alcazar Theater at 8
o'clock last night, and within an hour the
entire business part of the town was in
flames, while seventeen persons had per-
ished in the theater. The charred remains
Of nine people have been taken from the
ruins. The loss is fully s500,0O0. The AL
cazar was q variety theater, chiefly fre-
quented by miners, and was one
of the resorts of unsavory repute associ-
ated with the notorious dance-houses
of the mining regions. Only
small audience had gathered when the
fire broke out, and they scrambled out In
hurry. Several Of the actors, however.
rushed upstairs to save their wardrobes,
and when they sought to escape found
that they were hemmed in on all sides,
the flames having spread through the
wooden building with incredible rapidity.
How they struggled to fee will never
be known, as none Of them, except Sadie
Wells and Mabel Powers, were ever seen
again. The former appeared at second
story window and called piteously upon
the crowd outside to save her. Before a
hand could be raised the flames reached
her and communicated to her clothing.
She made frantic effort to jump through
the window, then with q piercing shrek
fell into the furnace below. Mabel Powers
had reached third-story window. She
jumped, and was SO badly injured
that her recovery Is doubtful. The
Alcazar was in the very heart of the
city. 1t was mass of flames in very
short time. The fire seemed to leap from
building to building until several blocks
became roaring oven. 1t was not long
before every business building between
Third and Fifth avenues was in flames.
All efforts to get the fire under control
seemed futile. The fire department, REIN
forced by scores of volunteers, sent its
puny streams against the advancing walls
of flame, but had to retreat as the fire
swept resistlessly on. 1t did not stop until
material for it to feed upon was lacking.
This is the fourth big fire in the brief his
tory of this place.
